Bottom Line

Pros

Cons

The Match is Mephisto's top-selling walking shoe for a reason. They're pricier than many other shoes, but they also seem to last much, much longer.

Pros

Comes in black full grain leather, dark brown/camel nubuck, navy nubuck and tan full grain leather at Zappos, Amazon offers in a variety of colors. Full grain or nubuck leather upper. Leather lining. Air relax footbed. Anatomically correct construction for support when walking. Fine latex foam outsole, air-cushioned sole.

Cons

Outsoles are a little slippery at first. Heavy.

Dressy enough for work, casual enough for jeans, this classic loafer will take you anywhere, all day long, in comfort and style.

Pros

Great for those who are on their feet all day. Slip-on loafer. Hand-stitched. Comes in black, cordovan and rust. Water-resistant leather upper. Padded tongue. Air Relax footbed. Smooth leather lining. Caoutchouc outsole.

Cons

May run large, so keep this in mind when sizing.

Best Bang for the Buck

With no breaking-in needed, these comfortable sandals are adventure-ready right out of the box.

Pros

Adjustable straps for a perfect fit. Supportive and solid. Comes in several colors. Leather uppers with buckle strap and hook-and-loop closure. Soft leather lining. Air relax footbed. Synthetic outsole.

Cons

Heavy. Back of sandal is hard.

While some customers loved these shoes, others say they started coming apart within months. If you are feeling sticker shock, the Shark Sandal might be a safer choice.

Pros

Water-repellent leather uppers are perfect for boat shoes. Genuine moccasin stitching and side lacing. Comes in several colors. Leather lining and leather-covered padded footbed with arch support. Padded tongue. Razor cut traction bottom for grip and water removal.

Cons

May run wide. Some customers say the shoe soles came apart much sooner than expected.

A comfortable walking shoe, though not in the same league as the Match.

Pros

Well-constructed and comfortable, with a fashion-forward edge. Comes in a variety of colors. Leather upper with lace-up closure. Leather lining. Leather-covered Air-Jet cushioned insole. Durable rubber outsole.

Cons

Squeak when you walk. Not as much support as other Mephisto styles.
